Subject: [PATCH v1 net 1/2] ipv4: fib: Don't dump dying fib_info in fib_leaf_notify().
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 06:17:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610061744.2030996-2-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610061744.2030996-1-kuniyu@google.com>
syzbot reported use-after-free in nsim_fib4_prepare_event(). [0]
The problem is that the following functions call fib_info_hold() /
refcount_inc() while dumping fib_info under RCU, which is unsafe.
* mlxsw_sp_router_fib4_event()
* rocker_router_fib_event()
* nsim_fib4_prepare_event()
refcount_inc_not_zero() must be used, but it would be too late
there.
Let's guarantee the lifetime of fib_info in fib_leaf_notify().
Note that IPv6 does not need the corresponding change since
fib6_table_dump() holds fib6_table.tb6_lock.
[0]:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
